Sporting Director of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Coach Kwesi Appiah, has been given the green light to take up the role as the head coach of Sudan national team.
The former Black Stars head coach was reported to have been named as the new head coach of Sudan’s men’s national team, with the 63-year-old agreeing a three-year deal.
Meanwhile, his current club has granted him permission to accept the offer.
A statement released by Asante Kotoko on Wednesday said “The life patron of Asante Kotoko, His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has blessed our technical director, Kwasi Appiah, to accept the role as Head Coach of Sudan national team.
His Majesty gave him his blessings following a meeting in London with our former left back.”
However, the statement added that he will still continue his job as the technical director of the club.
“Mr Appiah will, however, maintain his role as Technical Director of Kotoko. He will contest in the Ghana Football Association’s Executive Council elections next month in this capacity.
“The experienced technical brain, who has managed the Black Stars twice in the period, 2013 to 2014 and 2017 to 2019, is expected to lead the technical direction of Kotoko as we work on restructuring the team.”
